I used to think all black people were bad :lol

I remember thinking that people who died in movies really died. Also, that movies took a very long time to film because they had to wait for the kid actor to grow up.

- i thought if i ran and avoided the cracks on our tiles, the thing chasing me down the hallway wouldn't catch me. thankfully i've not got this weird OCD habit anymore

Oh shit I used to do that, never wanetd to stop on the cracks. Not that anyone was chasing me, just because.

You were a little racist.

I used to believe any story, no matter how far fetched must be possible because they made a movie about it!

I enjoyed movies more back then, the hero jumps through a plate glass window and shoots the guns out of all the bad guys hands? Must be possible, it's in a movie!

You get the idea, many a bad movie was enjoyed by me because I didn't know better than to say that looked fake or that couldn't happen.

My friends and I used to think that we could create potions to help us run faster. We did this, but it was mostly twigs, leaves, ranch dressing and toothpaste. Sticking our fingers in it made us instantly faster.

I used to think I could combine stuff from the bathroom (toothpaste, shampoo, shaving cream, cleaners, etc.) and if I did it right, it would give me magic powers or the power to fly. I didn't have to drink it (probably because I didn't want to), I'd just make it and there would be a poof that gave me powers. I think some kind of chemist creating a reaction like that was in some cartoon from the eighties, but I don't remember what.

Once, I was digging a hole in my front yard with a stick or something so it could be a death pit for my toys. And I thought, if I dig deep enough, could I reach hell? I knew I didn't have the capability to do it, but I wondered if anyone ever really tried it with construction equipment or something.

I remember thinking that my shoes made me run faster and jump higher. I'd run up and down the store saying, "wow, these make me run so much faster."

I was afraid of old people.

I think I thought they were wizards or something.

 

[Tarazet]

I wish I could say I thought dragons and furries were real.. but I knew they weren't by the first time I saw Robin Hood, though I can remember Maid Marian's bonnet and fangs making my heart miss a beat. This was at, oh I don't know, 5 or 6.

When I was small, and I watch a movie with my parents, when the love scene starts of course they tell you to close your eyes. I didn't understand what was bad about seeing a man and a woman kiss and sleep in bed at night - until I learned about sex :lol So innocent me back then...

Let me add one more. Around grade 2, I accidently see a porno mag and this guy is all tied up and the girl is giving him a blowjob. I wondered why he was all tied up...thats when I learned bondage :lol

Believing the olden days were in black and white and colour just suddenly happened one day.

:lol I used to think the same thing. I think this came from me watching The Sandlot.

I remember in a class, we got recipies for making things at home, like erasers, and stuff like that.

I got all the ingredients out, put them altogether and put them in the oven.

Later, my mom came in, and was like 'honey, you didn't follow the directions'

I just thought you threw it all together, put it in the oven and you made an eraser.

Lol, I can relate to a lot of these. The traffic light men, among others.

I used to run all the way to school (½-1 mile) almost every day during april-september when I was younger, trying to race/escape my own shadow :lol
